The Reception of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedom in Germany and France

A Comparison

Starting from the history of the European Convention on Human Rights current issues were discussed such as the prohibition of torture, anti-terrorism measures of the European Union or the right to a fair process. Altogether, the symposium provided fruitful insights into the respective other legal system and, thus, contributed to French-German co-operation in comparative and simultaneously interdisciplinary research on the development of a common European jurisprudence.
